Yes we still advise the base theme as the best/professional way to customize your site.

All changes must now be placed in the style.less file within the base theme.

Your base theme will remain the same regardless of the updates to the framework. You won't have to update the base theme each time.

Each section will now have its own less file, there will not be one sole file like 'style.css' has. You can either copy over the pieces you want to edit piece by piece, or take the entire section over and edit directly inside the base theme.

Kindly search the forum and read the documentation before posting. It will help you resolve many issues.

Don't copy the /less folder from the core framework into your child theme. You can still use style.css, but using style.less instead is the recommended way. LESS fully supports all CSS so there's no conflict there, only benefits and helpful stuff once you get to know it.

The issue is that as soon as I have the CSS via the Custom Styling text box, Pagelines (or the extension) strips out the backslashes (\). As a result, I had to abandon the CSS/LESS extension and instead add all my CSS code to a separate .css file.
Is there a fix or workaround for this?
Thanks

Hi, could you let me know where the custom less/css is saved to - i.e. how I could access it directly via the server.
I hid the Admin Bar by mistake and now can't save any changes to the Custom CSS as the Save Button is not available - so I need to find another way to access and edit the custom CSS.
Thanks in advance

I've been trying to upload a video to use as a video background, but the size was 12m, and the alotted max file size is 8m. I downloaded a couple of pugins that increase the size by creating php.ini files and all of that jazz, but to no avail. It would say (Max file size = 250mb) but after I uploaded I would get an "HTTP ERROR",
Soooo I logged into my cpanel and saw that the php I was using was 4 version out of date. I upgraded my php to PHP 5.6 and now I get
Fatal error: Out of memory (allocated 39583744) (tried to allocate 15 bytes) in /homepages/39/d200014696/htdocs/dymondentertainment.com/wp-content/themes/dms/dms/includes/less.plugin.php on line 848
When I activiate another theme that is not pagleines, the site works fine.... but will no longer work with Pagelines DMS Version 2.2
